Wow. Honestly not sure what to say about this movie, past calling it beautiful, inside and out. I kinda can't believe it's a debut feature. Another great film in a series of great recent films about the gentrification of the Bay Area and conflicts of race and masculinity that come with the desire to push back against it.
Beautiful, funny and very different... has a real signature. Can't wait to see what Joe Talbot does next. Not sure I love the script but I enjoyed the ride. Perhaps I felt the SF love was poured on a bit thick but it is a love letter to the city so it's appropriate.
Beautiful score by Emile Mosseri
and props to casting director Julia Kim (Starlet) for a very dynamic cast.

Long live A24. Took me a bit to warm up to this and just how different it is. Truly a breath of fresh air both in it’s story and filmmaking. It’s very dense and there’s a lot that happened so I might have to revisit this the next time I get the chance but man. Great performances, great ending, and the music.....god DAMN.
“you don’t get to hate it unless you love it”
stylistically new but also so familiar, like a long forgotten classic lost in the pages of history. every shot is a breath of fresh air, it almost feels like the first real film i’ve seen all year. i’m stunned
San Francisco has always been a city with a short memory. The fog rolls over the hills during the late afternoon, wiping the slate clean as it sweeps over the bay. The Earth shakes every so often, dislodging anything that got too comfortable where it was. The Japanese used to be the most visible immigrant population until the U.S. government decided to forcibly relocate them to internment camps that were scattered across the western seaboard. “Vertigo” is set there, because no American city is more attuned to the fear of rotational moment. So is Philip Kaufman’s “Invasion of the Body Snatchers,” a horror movie about a health inspector who slowly discovers that he’s being surrounded by alien duplicates. Today, the…
“Look at them look at you. Look down at you. But we built them!”
this was an absolute revelation. from the first first shot i knew i was about to witness something special, and about 30 minutes in i bought the vinyl for this incredible soundtrack because oh my god (only after pausing it though because wow, i did not want to miss a single frame). the lighting in this is ephemeral, and the direction is indicative of great things to come. a movie like this is rare, when it is born out of someone‘s absolute need to tell a story and knows how to use film making to do it (rather than not the other way around). just all…
Like a warm bath, you just kind of immerse yourself in it. Looks beautiful, and if you give me a sec, I'll remember the direction style it reminds me of.
There isn't much to say about this film. It just is, and that's beautiful. the cinematography and production design of this film was stunning. Two other ways I would describe this movie are both honest, and vulnerable. If you don't know the main character of this movie plays himself. They don't even bother changing his name. Joe Talbot's directorial debut has got me very excited to see what will come of him in the future as a filmmaker. This film's vulnerability, and honesty is portrayed equally as well through the direction of this film. A flaw of the film that is pretty apparent throughout is that it drags on for big chunks of the film. Other than that I very much enjoyed my self.
(7/10)
A love for a city, a love for a house, a love for a family. A city that’s now gone. A house that never way. A family of one.
